Ishgard Housing Transfer System Unfair

[Aeyis]

I don't see why if they own a house already why they should get the ability to transfer to new housing if its added. If anything they should be put on a time limit before they can own any ishgard housing until the people who want houses get a chance at them

Discuss.

Have you considered the idea, that perhaps this is intended to open up plots in the already existing housing areas?

The issue arises with the fact that it wasn't this way from the beginning. The players that did buy multiple houses on a server with alts would then pose a problem for SE to have to handle if the system was changed to be in such a way.

Sometimes a harsh measure is the best one. Simply reducing housing limit to one per account would free up a lot of plots, especially if the ''house sharing'' they were talking about was implemented.


If I got my alt a house I'd be perfectly fine with losing it due to such a measure.

If square think that resetting everyones gear is justified for the expansion,
then housing should be the same, everyone should have to buy a house at ishgard if they want one.

Wait, who said this would be free?

Easy way to make the transfer system fair, make it so that you purchase the new house in order to make the transfer. Once you put down the capital for the transfer and confirm your purchase of the plot, your previous plot becomes free.

Done deal. Fair for all. I had figured this would be a part of the transfer system from the start, but nooo we can't wait on details can we? We got to jump down the developer's throat before they even have time to mention the idea in full.

Knee-jerk is how we do things.

I still cling to the pipedream that Ishgard housing is instanced and the transfer system will be an incentive to move fixed personal housing to it. I really really want that to be true. It would certainly remove the "THEY CAN'T HAVE IT FIRST!" thing going on.

Funny no one has mentioned the fact that lots of seasonal events have had housing items you can't even use. What is sad and lots of people expecting is. Housing is a failed system. That they will just continue with the failed system. If they really had planned to fix the system they probably would have discussed it.

Many points have been brought up past and present. Housing falls into the fail inventory system. They have designed themselves into a corner and don't know how to fix it. The disgruntled comments on here and probably what started this thread is the lack of faith in SE of handling any new wards.

the transfer system is something needed not only for Ishgard but for the already existent residential areas as well. That said why should be people/FC that already own a house be punished? Cause you want your house first? No thanks.

If someone transfers they are giving up their existing plot in wherever to move to Ishgard, so another plot will open up.

I wont be transferring, <3 my Beach vista too much! XD

I for one am all in favor of a transfer system for exactly this reason. I would love a house in the Lavender Beds.

Well, if they transfer then the plot they used to own come up for sale. So either way there is more plots in general.

Truly... we need a real set of personal housing wards that will not stress the server and allow everyone to have one.
FC wards are fine. Putting the personal houses in with them? That was not really optimal.

[Nadirah]

Housing is already instanced and once they get EU data center out of NA they can't use server stress as an excuse.

You know how you go through a portal to enter the building? Yeah. The interior is instanced.
